Get hair cut.

Get hair cut.

It seems no matter how many times I get my hair cut, it always grows back...

Break in new running shoes.

Break in new running shoes.

A new pair of my favorite running shoes arrived yesterday and I can't wait to break them in today. Stepping into brand spankin' new running shoes (especially these super cushy ones) is one of the best feelings in the world.




I will also have to try out the neon orange reflective material at night. They are supposed to increase visibility but they are so orange and so reflective I'm convinced they may provide night vision as well.

Watch HSM2.

Watch HSM2.

That's "High School Musical 2" for those of you not in the know. It premiered last Friday on the Disney Channel--with record breaking audiences, I might add. Did I record it? Of course I did. Am I the biggest 20-something dork ever? Of course I am.

Can't wait to watch it!

Dress as well as my daughter.

Dress as well as my daughter.

Off to Kindergarten in her skinny jeans and peasant top... so cute! If only I could dress so trendy. (Not that my cut off sweats and tee shirt I'm currently donning aren't cute. Well...shoot.)

Use Water Filter.

Use Water Filter.

I was floored when I read this article on how Salt Lake City won a contest for best tasting water. Mostly because not 20 minutes outside the city, my city's tap produces what quite possibly is the foulest tasting water known to man. Maybe it's not that different. Maybe I'm spoiled with bottled water and I can just feel really sorry for the rest of the nation. But even my three-year old son cringes in disgust when I try to trick him with a glass from the tap.

I do, however, feel guilty for filling my recycling bin twice a month solely with water bottles. I think eventually I will give in to a filter on the tap. But it's just so hard to give up the convenience of grabbing a water bottle on the way out the door, or throwing it in my tote on the way to the pool, or putting it beside my bed for when I wake up without worrying about floaties and bugs I can't see floating in it in the middle of the night. If I recycle the plastic bottles, am I really that bad of a person for enjoying them?

Order School Shirts.

Order School Shirts.

Aren't the elementary school t-shirts awesome? (Say yes because I designed them). I know, you can't wait to see the backs. Here they are:

The girls' shirts are cap-sleeved and fitted and the boys are 3/4 sleeve. My favorite though are the hoodies. Available in adult sizes too!

Ban video games in our home.

Ban video games in our home.

Well, all except Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution, of course.

I just read about a new service that allows gamers to pay, say $10, to play a video game online against other players and the winner takes home the proceeds from that game. This has to be the worst idea ever. It is also my husband's dream come true, so it's a good thing it is banned in the state where I live. Here is the article about it. My favorite is how they claim it is not like gambling at all.

Have my plants call me.

Have my plants call me.

I got the biggest kick out of this segment on "Good Morning America."

It is a device that triggers your plant to call you, identify itself, and let you know what it needs. I can't tell you how much I need this. The voices crack me up. My favorite is the Scottish Moss (2:50 into the segment). Check it out here.
